How can I execute a dll through NX PTS

[HarshaKN]

Hi All,
can anyone let me know how I can execute a dll through NX PTS. Thanks for the help.

You can do this using either:

1. an Action Button, choosing the option to "Invoke Java/VB Method" (which can really invoke a DLL from any of our APIs... We need to rename that option sometime...) OR

2. a similarly named Visual Rule called "Invoke Java/VB Method", found in the "Act Commands" group. The Visual Rule can of course be associated with any event in the dialog or its widgets (open dialog, close dialog, change parameter value, material change, etc.)

Does that help?
